one another, and so constructed, when as.

sembled with a curler containin'g'a strand of hair therein, whereby the vapors developed in the waving of the hair may be restrained from passage onto the scalp or strands of hair adjacent that being acted upon.

Still further, it is aimed toprovide a novel form of shield comprising of a plurality of strips of treated materiai pivotally mounted with respect to one another, and adapted to be drawn parallel to-one another to. enclose therebetween a curler containing a strand of hair to be treated, said elements forming the shield having formed therein a plurality of hems, the lower of which contains a filling material forming a pad for protectingthe head or adjacent strands of hair,the other hem of which is adapted to carry the arms of a clamp through whichthe two sections are fastened together.

Still further, it is aimed to provide a novel form of shield comprising strips of impregnated material mounted adjacent one another, through the inedium of fastening the same to the arms of 'a clamp, said strips having free ends extending interiorly, whereby the curler containing hair positioned in the shield may be adapted to rest between the projection and thebodyofthe strip associated with said projection, there'bypreventing anyvapors formed duringthe waving operation with respect to, a straml ofhair' i same. a i In manufacturing side 15 of the padding.

from passing downwardly and getting upon thescalp of the patient. 1 v i These and other advantages, capabilities,

and features of the invention will appear from the subjoined detail description of one specific embodiment therefor illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a side elevation in section of the shield in actual functioning position. Figure 2 is a front view of the shield partly cut out toshow the relation of some of the elements therein.

F.igure 3 is aplan view in section taken along lines 33 of Figure 2.. Referring to the reference characters in the drawings, numerals 9 and 9. represent strips of material of which the shield is formed, said strips of material being folded overso as to provide long and short arms 10 and 10;and l3 and 13 respectively, there being provided adjacent hems lland 12and 11; and 12 at the bottoms of each of the these shields to provide the device shown in Figure 1, each of the elements to form ashield is subjected to the following operations:

A piece of padding 14, such as flannel, is folded over on itself to form longand short arms15 and l6, the folded, over strip of padding is then laid one flat strip of material 9, which is then folded over so that the short side 13 thereof corresponds to the short side'l6 of the padding, andthe long side 10 of the strip corresponds to. the long The strip containing the padding is then stitched as at 17 and 18soas' to formthe two hems 11 and 12.-

The stitch 17 passes'throughlO and 13 of r the strip and 15 andl6 of the padding, to form. the lower hem'12. The stitch 18 passes only through the arms-of the strip 9 to form the second hem 11,'at' the same time providing a suficient aperture in hem 11 through which may be passed one arm of aclamp to be later described, the portion of the strips and padding included in V the hem 12 being adapted to serve the purpose of forming a protective element for the headand the strand of hair passing into the shield.

As is shown in Figure 1, there is sufiicient space in hems 11 and 11, since the upper projection of the shorter arm 16 of the padding 14 projects only slightly above the stitching 17, to provide for the passage of the arms20 and 20 of the clamp 19, which arms are pivoted as at 21 and have associated separable locking elements 22,.and 23 at the other end thereof. I A second; clamp 24 of the same nature andstructural forma tion as that previously described, but applied independently of the strips and the padding, is adapted to surround thefreeupper arms 10 and 10 of the strips 9 and 9 to form a closure for the heating unit, hav ing wound thereon a strand of hair, in conjunction with the closure formed by the.

passing through the hems: 11

" age of vapor through vthe lower portion of the clip onto the scalp or hair of the patient. r

In this manner, there is providedasimple shield element having a double function for providing protection of the scalpvof the patient being treated, in conjunction with a sealing device for preventing passage of vapors from the curler onto the scalp. It is obvlous that various changes and rrnodiiications may be made to the details ofconstruction without departing from the general spirit of the'invention as set.fortl1 in the appended claims.

I claim: I a 7 l. A shield for hair curlers comprising a plurality of strips of impregnated material, said strips being folded over to'form long and short sections, and padding sections formed similarly of long and short sections, disposed between the long and short sections "of each of said impregnated strips, hems formed adjacent the point of folding of the strips and the padding, the upper hem of each strip being adapted to have passed therethrough an arm of a clip, the lower hem of each strip being adapted to form a protective pad for the head;

2,, A shield for hair curlers comprising a plurality of strips'of impregnated material. maid strips being folded over to form long and short sections, and padding sections formed similarly of long and short sections, disposed between the long and short sections of each of said impregnated strips, hems formed adjacent the point of folding of the strips and the padding, the

said strips being fastened together at opposite sides to form an; enclosing portion, a heater unit carrying a strand of hair positioned in said enclosing portion, each of said strips having free edges extending inwardly within said enclosing'portion, either one of said edges of such strips being adapted to substantially surround, the heater unit, and maintain said unit adjacent the body of the strip of which said edge is apart.

at. Ashield for hair curlers comprising a plurality of strips of impregnated material, a clip fastening means having pivoted arms fastened to one ofthe sides of each of said strips, whereby to maintain the same in movable association with one another, so as to permit the enclosure of a curler carrying a; strand, of hair, and a second clip for fas-' tening the free sidesof said strips, whereby to form an enclosure for said curler, and means comprising projections integral with and extending inwardly from each of said strips for surrounding the curler within the area between thestrips.

5. A shield for haircurlers comprising a plurality of strips of impregnated'material, said strips being folded over to provide a plurality of long and short sections, padding strips similarly formed of long and short,

sections enclosed between the long and short.

sections of each of said strips,rh emsformed adjacent the point of folding of, said strips, arclip having arms each passing through one of the hems of each strip, said clip being so formed as to mount the strips pivotally of one another for surrounding a strand of hair,- saidstrips being fastened at the opposite end by anotl'iercl'i'p, whereby to form an enclosing portion f or a curler.

6. Ashield for haircurlers comprising a plurality of strips of impregnated material,

said strips being folded over to provide a pluralityof'long and short sections, padding strips similarly formed of long and short sections enclosed between the long and shortsections of each ofsaid strips, hems formed adjacent the point of folding ofs'aidstrips, a clip having arms each passing through one of the hems of each strip,,said clip being so formed as to mount the strips pivotally of one another for surrounding a strand of hair, said strips being fastened at the opposite end by another 0 ip, where by to form an enclosing portion for a curler, and means comprising projections formed interiorly of the Walls of the strips whereby to surround and support the curler Within said shield.
